Committee continues to hold off on Sagebrush decision
The Los Angeles County Committee on School District Organization met last Wednesday, but didn’t take action on the Sagebrush territory, a small portion of La Cañada Flintridge.
The committee met with legal counsel during a closed session to discuss litigation regarding the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, process conducted to transfer Sagebrush territory from the Glendale Unified School District to the La Cañada Unified School District.
According to Los Angeles County Office of Education spokesperson Margo Minecki, nothing was reported out of the closed session and no action was taken on the petition to transfer the territory.
In October, the committee voted to accept a petition by Sagebrush residents to transfer territory into La Cañada Unified and accept the CEQA study regarding the territory. Establishing a voting area for a general election was postponed. In the same month, Glendale Unified formally filed a notice of appeal and a lawsuit in superior court challenging the results of a mitigated negative declaration conducted during the CEQA study.
The next committee meeting is expected to be held on April 1 at 9:30 a.m. at the Los Angeles County Office of Education, located at 9300 Imperial Highway.
